Donald I, emperor of the world.

Being reported that Trump is now again going on about how US "needs Greenland" - playing recording of Trump talking to press on Air Force One. So not looking hopeful that he's satisfied his thirst for playing tough guy.

Someone needs to show him, this, but I suspect it's beyond his comprehension. Probably like the size of his willy in his mind compared with its actual size.

To me complete madness Trúmp is even thinking this and it's showing complete contempt for its allies saying such stuff. Yet our leaders continy to sycophantise etc.

Just listening to "The News Agents" podcast and as they rightly point out, had China taken the Venezuelan leader the UK PM & Ministers would be publicly condemning their action, no delays, no ifs and buts and maybe, outright condemnation.

There is no subtlety about it. He said he was going after other countries on Saturday, although Greenland wasn't mentioned specifically.
Rubio backed him up, basically telling the rest of the World to toe the line or face the consequences.

Ever wondered about how it must have felt to be reading the news in the mid 30s and thinking "He wouldn't.."?

It's government by X. It's bad enough when it's domestic policy (I still can't fathom why the UK Government is still using X), but when it's an unelected spouse of a US government official trying to invoke a hostile takeover of a one-time ally, it's well into crazyland.

...

Afraid Greenland was mentioned specifically (from within the last 24 hrs)

"We need Greenland from a National Security situation. It's so strategic. Right now Greenland is covered with Russian and chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from a standpoint of National Security. And Denmark is not going to be able to do it. I can tell you. You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security in Greenland? they added one more dog-sled. It's true. they thought that was a great move. ... and the Europen Union needs us to have it and they know that.

I was referring directly to his press conference on Saturday. He has repeated his stance since Miller's wife did her post.
He has also stated that he wants to control the hemisphere. Think of all the countries that includes. 😱

If he tries that, someone should bagsy the advance on "The Decline and Fall of the American Empire".

If only we had a trained historian here to tell us about the value of studying history (and of commuting from Cambridge to London).

I'd start with 20th century, 1932-1938.

Did something happen then (apart from my mother being born and my favourite trumpet being made)?
